Important Guarantee for The Basic Rights of Citizens——China's State compensation system

A common folk can sue an official? This was hardly possible in the past in China where the old feudalistic tradition dies hard. But this is really possible today when the common people cannot only sue officials and also get compensation if they are wronged. State compensation system It would be inevitable for government functionaries to cause damages to some citizens, legal persons or other organizations in the course of their management of the society. That is why China has established a State compensation system to compensate for the damages to citizens, legal persons and other organizations caused by government functionaries in exercising their power.

A Judicial Empirical Study on the Principle of “the Best Interests of the Child”——From the Principles of National Conventions to the Building of Adjudication Norms

“The best interests of the child”is an essential principle of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.Due to the abstractness and ambiguity of this principle,its application is inevitably subject to the judge’s personality.Through empirical analysis,we can find that the judicial documents invoking the principle of“the best interests of the child”by Chinese courts show a significant increase in the number of disputes,types of disputes,and pronounced regional characteristics.The application of this principle by the courts is highly consistent with the judicial interpretative documents issued by the Supreme People’s Court.The invocation of this principle plays the role of interpreting the provisions of the law,the value basis for discretion,and the value orientation for shaping new rules in adjudication.At the same time,it is plagued by a lack of guidelines for the application of principles,invocations that serve the will of judges,and imperfect thinking in weighing the various factors involved.The application of this principle should be improved by setting normative standards for the principle of“the best interests of the child”,increasing case guidance for invoking the principle,and enhancing the professionalism of judges.

高校“非升即走”制度下教师权益保障困境及破解路径

随着“非升即走”成为我国高等学校教师聘任的主流制度,高校教师的权益保障问题在人事制度改革和相关立法中的重要性和紧迫性日益凸显。结合理论研究和司法实践来看,我国高校教师面临的权益保障困境主要表现为“学术青椒”的尴尬:在“非升即走”聘用合同签订前,高校教师的法律身份模糊;在签订合同时,高校教师的主体性尤其是平等参与权缺失;在履行合同中,高校教师权利救济渠道不畅。这些问题的主要原因在于“学术锦标赛”的异化:高校人事管理的相关法律内容模糊、高校办学自主权边界不清和“非升即走”制度的价值偏离。破解“非升即走”制度下高校教师权益保障的现实困境的关键在于学术生态的优化:国家层面应明确“非升即走”聘用合同是“具有行政要素的劳动合同”的法律属性,重构高校教师“兼具公权与私权性质的特殊劳动者”的法律身份,完善高校教师聘任的相关法律体系;高校层面应重塑“非升即走”的制度价值,充分发挥制度的激励和促进作用,完善“非升即走”制度内容及配套措施,健全教师权益保障机制。

侵犯公民个人信息罪的法定犯意涵

个人信息刑法保护模式的选择离不开对侵犯公民个人信息罪本质属性的认识,目前多数学者将本罪理解为自然犯,但这种认识存在诸多误区。根据学界对自然犯/法定犯区分具有共识的三个标准:首先,从古代国家到现代国家、从现代社会到信息社会,个人信息在社会变迁中经历了“古今之变”,只有在信息社会中才得以获得法律的全面保护;其次,侵犯公民个人信息罪的保护法益兼具个人法益和超个人法益的双重面向,不应忽视个人信息作为社会交往之构成要素的集体法益维度;最后,侵犯公民个人信息罪中“违反国家有关规定”是法定犯的前置法律法规,其内涵是国家对个人信息处理者施加的合规义务。因此,侵犯公民个人信息罪是法定犯而非自然犯。以此为起点,开展以侵犯公民个人信息罪为代表的法定犯基础理论研究,是未来值得开拓的重要方向。

扩大标准供者器官受者权益保护的伦理建设

在移植器官严重短缺和公民逝世后器官捐献成为我国移植器官主要来源的背景下,扩大标准供者(ECD)器官已广泛应用于临床,但ECD存在基础疾病、高龄、外伤、休克或感染等情况,供器官质量会受到不同程度的影响,是影响移植疗效的重要因素之一。接受ECD器官移植受者也将承担ECD器官带来的额外风险和疗效的不确定性,需要重视受者权益保护。本文从ECD器官移植在受者保护方面面临的伦理问题、目前器官伦理委员会伦理审查上存在的不足进行综述,探讨器官移植受者权益的伦理审查机构与制度建设的建议,以期为促进ECD器官移植发展提供参考。

劳动权益对农民工市民化意愿的影响——基于全国流动人口动态监测8城市融合数据的分析

本文基于国家卫生计生委流动人口动态监测8城市融合数据,利用二分类Logistic回归模型考察劳动权益对农民工市民化意愿的影响。结果表明,农民工劳动权益在一定程度上受到损害;接受技能培训、在流入地参加城镇职工医疗保险能显著提高农民工市民化意愿;超时劳动则显著降低农民工市民化意愿。政府应提升农民工维权意识,加大对用人单位监管力度;提升农民工受教育水平,提高农民工参加职业技能培训的积极性;建立和完善针对农民工的社会保险制度;加快户籍制度改革,降低农民工市民化门槛,以提高农民工市民化意愿,推进农民工市民化进程。
